I can just imagine : )
At least you've had time to rest up before the festivities begin.

Not really but there are things I should do that I will probably put off again.
Finishing on Thursday too : )

Will do.

Jealous :(
I have nothing planned bar seeing family, and at the risk of seeming ungrateful I will probably be tearing my hair out within 48 hours of getting home.

I'm with you on the 'having nothing planned for new-year' thing.
Why don't people have house parties anymore?
( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Mon 20 Dec 2010, 20:56, Reply)

They do.
I usually only go to house parties.
( girlinthehole, Mon 20 Dec 2010, 20:59, Reply)

Okay.
Why don't people I KNOW have parties.

A thousand times this
Christmas is for family, new years for friends. It always used to be that someone would have a decent house party for new years, but for the past couple of years everyone has been dead boring and wanted to stay in and watch Jools Holland with their significant other. For fucks sake - you see them every day, and you've got the rest of your life to be old and boring! I'm too bloody young to be middle aged and dull *rages*

I with you all the way berk.
Why the fuck would you want to take your bird/bloke out 'for a nice meal' before going home with a bottle of wine.

I mean, even if you actually like your other half, you can fuck them before you go out. How dare you bollocks up my new years by doing something all lovey.

New Year - a chance for friends to get together, drink too much and cop-off with a mates, mate.

Those are the rules. Not 'oh, we'll just get a chinese this year as the pubs will be busy and expensive'.

You sound somewhat sarcastic
but I stand by what I've said: I totally understand wanting to spend time with your boy/girlfriend. But you can do that any day you like whereas with new years everyone tends to be off work and can get pissed and have a giggle together, which we don't actually do as a group all that often. Possibly because most of my supposed mates are actually terribly boring, and it takes one to know one :(

I wasn't be sarcastic.
It annoys me in exactly the same way as it annoys you.
( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Mon 20 Dec 2010, 21:20, Reply)

I was very lucky with my group of friends from Manchester.
We all used to get together at New Year at someone's house. Now I'm lucky to meet up with new friends who also prefer staying in with mates.
( girlinthehole, Mon 20 Dec 2010, 21:22, Reply)

nothing going on here for new years
I don't know anyone in the area and I think my family might get a bit pissy if I left early
( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Mon 20 Dec 2010, 21:01, Reply)

Why should you stick around for New Year.
You did the Christmas thing with them. I think they're being too demanding of you to stay for New Year as well.
( girlinthehole, Mon 20 Dec 2010, 21:19, Reply)

It's a question of timing I guess as well
I'm not back at Oxford until the 9th, so I'd have to find somewhere to stay between the 31st-9th which is easier said than done. Oh well I'll stock up on icecream and shit TV
( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Mon 20 Dec 2010, 21:21, Reply)

Well next year plan ahead a little.

( girlinthehole, Mon 20 Dec 2010, 21:23, Reply)

Exactly
family for christmas, friends for new year.
